NEET 2021 · PhysicsPrevious Year Question

A uniform rod (200 cm, 500 g) is balanced on a wedge at the 40 cm mark. A 2 kg mass hangs at the 20 cm mark and an unknown mass m hangs at the 160 cm mark. For equilibrium, m is: (g = 10 m/s²)

Answer: (B) 1/12 kg. Correct Answer (B): 1/12 kg Solution: Torques about the wedge (40 cm).

NEET 2021 Physics question — A uniform rod (200 cm, 500 g) is balanced on a wedge at the 40 cm mark. A 2 kg mass hangs…
  1. A.1/6 kg
  2. B.1/12 kg
  3. C.1/2 kg
  4. D.1/3 kg

Correct Answer

(B) 1/12 kg

Solution & Explanation

Correct Answer (B): 1/12 kg Solution: Torques about the wedge (40 cm). CCW: 2·(0.40-0.20)=0.40. CW: rod 0.5·(1.00-0.40) + m·(1.60-0.40) = 0.30 + 1.20m. Set equal: 0.40 = 0.30 + 1.20m ⇒ m = 1/12 kg.

PhysAn electric dipole with dipole moment 5 × 10⁻⁶ C·m is aligned with the direction of a uniform electric field of magnitude 4 × 10⁵ N/C. The dipole is then rotated through an angle of 60° with respect to the electric field. The change in the potential energy of the dipole is:PhysThe plates of a parallel plate capacitor are separated by d. Two slabs of different dielectric constant K1 and K2 with thickness 3d/8 and d/2 respectively are inserted in the capacitor. Due to this, the capacitance becomes two times larger than when there is nothing between the plates. If K1/K2 = 1.25, the value of K1 is:PhysA ball of mass 0.5 kg is dropped from a height of 40 m. It hits the ground and rebounds to a height of 10 m. The impulse imparted to the ball during its collision with the ground is (g = 9.8 m/s²):PhysA 2 A current is flowing through two different small circular copper coils having radii ratio 1 : 2. The ratio of their respective magnetic moments will bePhysAn electron (mass 9 × 10⁻³¹ kg and charge 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C) moving with speed c/100 (c = speed of light) is injected into a magnetic field B of magnitude 9 × 10⁻⁴ T perpendicular to its direction of motion. We wish to apply a uniform electric field E together with the magnetic field so that the electron does not deflect from its path. Then (speed of light c = 3 × 10⁸ m s⁻¹)PhysA container has two chambers of volumes V₁ = 2 litres and V₂ = 3 litres separated by a partition made of a thermal insulator. The chambers contain n₁ = 5 and n₂ = 4 moles of ideal gas at pressures p₁ = 1 atm and p₂ = 2 atm, respectively. When the partition is removed, the mixture attains an equilibrium pressure of:PhysTwo gases A and B are filled at the same pressure in separate cylinders with movable pistons of radius r_A and r_B, respectively. On supplying an equal amount of heat to both systems reversibly under constant pressure, the pistons of gas A and gas B are displaced by 16 cm and 9 cm, respectively. If the change in their internal energy is the same, then the ratio r_A/r_B is equal to:PhysAn oxygen cylinder of volume 30 litre has 18.20 moles of oxygen. After some oxygen is withdrawn from the cylinder, its pressure drops to 11 atmospheric pressure at temperature 27 °C. The mass of the oxygen withdrawn from the cylinder is nearly equal to: [Given R = 100/12 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹, molecular mass of O₂ = 32, 1 atm = 1.01 × 10⁵ N m⁻²]
